Character In Time
A boy, roughly around the age of 19 sits at the window looking out into this unfamiliar city that he now resides in. All he can hear is his own guilty conscious and the honking of horns from the cars that are down below. As he looks out into this city, flashbacks occur through his mind. Time rewinds slowly through his head. It all started with the day he turned 18. (Flashbacks occurs) He is the kind of high school teenager who doesn't take school seriously and hangs out with the wrong group of kids; always looking for trouble. The police are apart of his life, ever since freshmen year. Once he turned 18 his family said to him that, they didn't want to deal with anymore of his trouble making and that he needs to learn how to depend on himself and no one else. So he went and got a minimum-wage paying job. It wasn't the easiest way to make money, but he knew that it was all he could get with his poor grades. Things went well for a couple months, until he got back into his old habits. Sooner then later he got fired from his job and was about to be evicted from his small apartment. Not knowing where to run to for help, he knew this was a reality check from himself.
He realized that he needed to move to another city to start fresh, meet new people, and get away from the old ones. He snaps back into reality where he now sits at the window looking out into this big city feeling alone; not knowing where to start. This is his new beginning; a beginning to a better, successful lifestyle.
